Manitoba Businesses: Immigration Program

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program Dept: A closer look at the program reveals that while it is not perfect, it has generally been a success for Manitoba businesses, families and immigrants who move here, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The main criticisms of the program revolve around the income levels of Manitoba immigrants. In one study, it was found that, from 2005 to 2009, the average employment income of Manitoba immigrants was lower than in other western provinces and did not keep pace with average employment earnings for non-immigrants and last month, the Free Press published an article Is Manitoba's immigration 'success' worth crowing over? that indicated our immigration program is failing. But is it? The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program, designed to allow Manitoba to select desirable immigrants, has been adapted by virtually all Canadian provinces and territories.
